FYI: Many a candidate for office this year that claimed to have progressive intent, wound up, like Beto, running like mad to big donors for matching fund campaigns.

As such, the percentage of small donor contributions gets smaller and smaller as the match multiple gets higher and higher. At the end, Beto’s match was 8X’s. Where these matcher’s expecting any favors for this kind of help. I know for Beto, his matchings started very soon after his primary win. It’s my belief that after a sufficient period of time, Groups like the Justice Democrats need to say fowl when folks keep saying that most of the candidates donations where coming from small donors. Not so fast there. Buy the time you reach 3X’s matching, most of the money is coming from the matchers. If they were coming from Soros or some other big spender from the left side of the mega donor pool, it’s not cool to expect a donor to not demand payback. We say this all the time about GOP donor supporters. We can’t just shift our police cause it’s weuns sayin it.
